In a private study, David Janczak, founder of Wisconsin Log Homes, compared a 16-inch solid-log home, with a log home built using his new Thermal-Log™ Building System. David found that
the Thermal-Log™ home used one-third the amount of energy
to heat twice the amount of living space.
As a result, in 1979, Wisconsin Log Homes completely stopped building and selling solid log homes. Why such an emphasis on energy efficiency? Because savings are greater than you may think – hundreds of dollars the first year, thousands of dollars in the future. All the money in the world won’t buy energy once it’s gone.
Note: Case study heating costs are from the same ten-month heating season,
and the log homes tested were within thirty miles of each other.
At Wisconsin Log Homes, we believe that personal style is the essence of having a home you can truly love… a place where you can be most comfortable.
Expressing your personal style in your log home, timber-frame home, or hybrid home can be a challenge on your own. However, when you choose Wisconsin Log Homes, you’ll have a team of creative professionals who will listen to your visions and help you create the perfect plan and select products that suit your lifestyle, building location, creative style, and budget. It’s all part of our Design Build Solution.

With Wisconsin Log Homes’ Thermal-Log™ building technology, there is no
log-wall settling or insulation problems, and air infiltration is completely stopped.
Over the last 30+years,
we’ve proven that insulation,
combined with thermal mass,
is simply the most effective
way to lock in expensive energy in log and timber home construction. Thermal-Log™ provides a cozy, warm environment in winter, and a cool one in the summer.
Numerous log home and timber home
manufactures have attempted to adopt
many aspects of our successful building
system. We can say with great pride that we have, through Thermal-Log™ and other innovations,
literally changed an industry for the better.
Thermal-Log™ homes are designed for optimum performance and versatility. These log homes and timber homes of the 21st Century are plugged in - indoor/outdoor sound systems, security systems, home theaters, HVAC, duct work and plumbing are all much easier to install. There’s no need for standby electrical and plumbing labor - any qualified subcontractor can do the work.
The Thermal-Log™ Building System also preserves the integrity of the roof and walls, with no vertical support beams that need to be adjusted over time.
Another reason Wisconsin Log Homes is the winning choice for homeowners around the world is because our creative design team and our versatile
Thermal-Log™ Building System combine to create the precise look you desire. Walls and ceilings are an open palette. Walls may be finished with optional interior log, drywall, wood paneling, log and timber accents, stone or a combination of products. Ceilings may be lined with optional tongue and groove paneling, drywall, or any material of
your choice. With Wisconsin Log
Homes, your décor possibilities are
literally endless.
As your plan gets underway,
